I have had great success with calling coon. I have yet to really give it an honest chance in the day, but I have honed my technique for night hunting them.

There are basically two ways that I call coon. Set up on a known tree den and let the caller go until they come out of the tree for a look. Or slowly walk ditch lines and wood edges, calling while shining trees and the ground. The second method has worked very well for me. I have found that most of the coon I end up shining are in the trees. They seem to want to get to high ground for a better look as to what all the noise (ecaller) is about. A few times I have had them walk o the call and even fewer times I have had them charge to the call.

I have found that moonless dark nights, 30-50* temps, and little to no wind makes for outstanding coon calling in my areas.

Remember a coon has a good nose also so play the wind just like for coyotes. I had a coon last year coming in and didn't relize the wind shifted and it turned around and I didn't understand why until I checked the wind. I did get it as it was leaving.
